- 7.jan.2000 CoolPlayer build 5698
improvements:
+ sending an accelerator message like pause/shuffle will return
the previous state now.

button and switch in the skin.ini file. F.e.:
PlaySwitch=55,19,16,17,0,0,0,0,0,Play that funky music!
Notes: You have to set all the control values so the tooltip is
the tenth value. You can set all values that are not used to 0.
If you do not define a custom tooltip, the default tips will be used.
Maximum length of the tip is 100 chars, "," and "=" will be substituted
by spaces for internal reasons.
+ Added keyboard shortcut "E" to toggle the equalizer.

use for remote controls.

didn"t work correct.

some messy code there. It should work very slick now.
